Stacey Dias recommends On Stage Academy of Performing Arts
I highly recommend On Stage to anyone who has children interested in the arts. I have 2 daughters enrolled there. They take dance, theatre, and voice lessons. It is a very well run, clean facility, and a safe space for kids . Ms. Linda and Mr. Roger have a passion for teaching and my children absolutely love it there. It has become like a second home for them. It gave my girls more confidence and also learning to be more responsible and teamwork which are valuable lessons in life.

On Stage is the best studio and the only place I would send my daughter! The dance and musical theatre instruction are top notch but it’s more than that!
Ms. Linda is teaching these kids valuable life skills! They learn about responsibility, respect, hard work, stage presence, confidence, and how to be professional - all while dancing, singing, and having fun!!
My sisters and I danced at On Stage when Ms. Linda first opened the studio. She has not changed a bit! So much energy, creativity, integrity, and a true love for sharing dance and the arts. I am so glad I have the opportunity to send my daughter to On Stage. She loves it!! 🩰🎼🎭
Kelly O'Connor Chabot recommends On Stage Academy of Performing Arts
Miss Linda is the best! She truly has been a light for all the children through these tough times. I am so grateful for a small touch of normal for my daughters. Not only is she an amazing teacher, she is extremely organized and her studio is clean! I feel completely safe sending both my girls here every week.
